When it comes to going to sleep, I’m not sure how much more manipulative my kids could become. Rafi, twenty-two months, postpones the ending of every book, insists on brushing her teeth for an hour (she barely has any but we humor her) and tells me she’s peed when she hasn’t. Gemma, three and a half, likes to pop out of bed to tell me that her dolls can’t fall asleep, she’s having bad dreams about porcupines (or another random animal) or that she needs a “shorter blanket.” To all this, I say, Don’t bullsh*t a bullsh*itter, kids. The only thing I know to do to make the process more pleasant for me is to soup up their bed, design-wise. Enter Soft Gallery embroidered pillowcases which I ordered from Little Fashion Gallery in Paris. Oh yes I did. They’re cute and spunky and let’s just say they better be adorable because I am not paying for no return shipping. Normal people will find equally as cute ‘cases from stores in the US, like my favorite, Sweet William, who carries and array from the same brand.
